About Michael John
Hey guys, I'm Michael: father, Unimelb med student, author of 7 books on Section II, and the highest scoring Section II tutor (91). I help students of all abilities become incredible writers, and high scorers in their GAMSAT - in particular those who have sat multiple times (as high as 13) and have yet to succeed. I always find a way. Over the years my business, 90plusgamsat, has progressed from a kernel of altruism and a spirit of giving back on our 5000 member strong Section II Sorted Facebook group, to a new kind of GAMSAT mentoring service which separates the wheat from the chaff and connects prospective students with the highest scorers of all time. We only hire med students who scored the hundredth percentile of their sit, have a kind and encouraging attitude, and extensive teaching experience. The aim is to make the GAMSAT less grueling. The GAMSAT scene is changing. Everyone's an 'expert.' And then among students, there is genuinely a shift towards higher scores each sitting as the products helping students improve. Other students are left floundering and confused. This is especially the case in S2. When I scored 91 no-one had ever heard of it being done. In every sitting since one of my personal students has scored 90 or higher, and nearly 40% of my students score above 80. That's what we do. Take it from the students and google '90plusgamsat' to see our 134 5-star reviews on google. Or, let me help you for free and you can decide later whether you want to hire me. You can access tens of hours of free tutoring blogs and videos created by me and divided by topic (intro, contentions, quote interpretation, task a, task b, creative writing, structure, mindset) on the 90plusgamsat website under the 'videos' headed in the menu. You can also access one of my books free under the "80+ essays" button on the free resources page which will take you to a download of my book Twenty Ways Other Winners Did It which is a collection of some of my students best essays with feedback by myself and Lana Hollingsworth - a student of mine who also scored 91 and is also available for booking.

Each student is different. There are techniques or 'modules' that can be taught (understanding what ACER want, coming up with contentions lightning quick, turning contentions into coherent or sound arguments which become a plan, structure, quote interpretation, where to find ideas that make a difference and how to use them etc), and then there is the person applying the techniques.
I have taught students from 40s to 70s to score in the 80s. I specialise in those who have tried over and over and even used premium prep company's courses unsuccessfully. My students reliably get into med because I understand, and know how to manage, the person sitting the exam. You.
The way you relate to yourself, and the exam. The way you manage energy, anxiety, depression, fear, set backs. The way you approach your attempt to be successful is /as important/ as the techniques you apply in the exam. And, there are principles that can be taught and learned that get to work on these things, alongside the technical understanding of S2 that I can teach.
Lessons are typically 75 minutes but I stop when the job is done, not when the clock says I should. I have also developed significant amounts of specialised courses, blogs and videos for all parts of the process which I assign as homework (and give coupons for free access to) in between classes. This allows us to cover more ground more quickly, and turns the value of each lesson 3 or 4. Further we can focus just on where you're really stuck in class.
Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Michael John.
Perfect! If you're looking for a section 2 tutor stop your search and just hire Michael now, trust me. I decided to seek Michael's mentorship solely based on merit, e.g. author of 7 books, mentor to some of the most elite S2 students and not to mention him scoring the highest known S2 score of all time. But throughout my sessions I began to notice he has an honest and genuine passion to help students excel, it's not a transactional relationship you get with most tutors. His ability to adjust his learning methods and pace to match my speed and comprehension was fantastic. It never seemed as though I was being overwhelmed or unable to understand something. He has developed a university style program full of insightful modules and learning content that you can work through each week. In addition to all this, Michael is also an overall mentor for your GAMSAT journey, he introduced me to other tutors for sections 1 and 2 as part of his company that are just as good as he and I've been working with them for months too. In a nutshell, go with Michael, you won't go wrong!
